Is George Orwell's "Homage to Catalonia" worth reading?

Though the argument that all books are worth reading may be presented.. It is my opinion that Homage to Catalonia is for someone really interested in the Spanish Civil War. I did not like it at all. Some parts were interesting but the rest sounded straight out of a history text book. Of course if you were a history buff it could be right up your alley. 1984 and Animal Farm were the only books by Orwell I would personally deem worthy of reading twice. I would agree that it is the best book I have ever read dealing with the spanish civil war.
